长岛华夏中文学校始建于二〇〇〇年，至今已经是第二十二个年头了。学校从创建伊始至今，一直是一所完全由学生家长义工自主管理和经营的非营利性教育机构。长岛华夏中文学校也是大纽约地区极富盛名的华夏中文学校系统在长岛地区的唯一分校。从建校到如今，长岛中文学校以其出类拔萃的教学质量以及丰富多彩的文化课程和家长活动吸引着来自四面八方的学生和家长。学校从建校初期的几户人家，十余名同学，发展到如今来自四百多户家庭的近五百多名学生。学校的学生遍布于长岛的纳苏郡和萨福郡，以及纽约皇后区。学校的蓬勃发展不仅为学生营造了一个难得的学习中文的良好环境，还为社区提供了一个传播和学习中国文化，继承和光大中华优秀传统的平台。在学生家长义工组成的强大校务团队地有效管理下，凭借着严谨的教学大纲以及优秀的教师队伍，学校的教学质量在华人社区享有着极佳的口碑。学校现设有从学前班到十年级的各级中文课程。学校同时还为低年级学生免费开设了具有中国文化特色的琴棋书画、诗歌朗诵、音乐舞蹈等文体课以及高年级中文辩论培训课。学校的中文辩论团队勇夺华夏总校个人和团体的多项大奖；毕业班学生每年都在美国AP中文考试和HSK考试中取得了优秀的成绩。每年学校还联合华夏总部和各兄弟分校共同培训老师，交流教学经验，以满足教学需要。 欢迎您加入我们学校的行列，成为我们团体的一员。

The new school year brings us new challenges. We still follow the model of “studying totally, thinking thoroughly, planning carefully, and executing responsibly.” Long Island School of Chinese has grown from its original 14 students to today’s population of over 400. Many parents and volunteers have contributed selflessly to the school and made it possible for our school to be a top choice in the area. Our curriculum covers pre-K to 12th grade Chinese language classes. We also offer cultural classes to our lower grade students. Classes include drawing, origami, fencing, Chinese martial arts, Tae Kwan Do, and poem reading. We also have Tai Chi, Yoga, and Choir classes for adults. Weekly movies are another treat that we have for our parents. We have a pool of talent people and offer variety of activities. Our school has become a cultural center for people during the weekends, where people get together and where friendships have grown. Our program has attracted many people from near and far because of its uniqueness. It is my hope that with the help of the parents, teachers, and volunteers our school will continue to play a meaningful role in helping children learn the Chinese culture and language.
